GEOFF POWER/JAMES MCCANN WIN 420 MUNSTER CHAMPIONSHIP

Aug 2017

Following on from their win at the Irish Pathway Championship in April 2017, Geoff Power/James McCann wrapped up victory at the 2017 420 Munster Championship at Waterford Harbour Sailing Club, 19-20 August 2017.

Sunday's racing provided a contrast in weather with a constant drizzle and a switch in wind direction bringing a large swell into Dunmore East to add further excitement to the downwind legs with plenty of surfing in evidence. The speed of the 420 crews around the course, both upwind and downwind, provided an exciting spectacle for those watching from the harbour wall. Two races were completed on Sunday with Geoff Power and James McCann completing a perfect series in the Gold fleet by also winning the final two races.
